CARPENTERSVILLE, Ill. (July 1) - The Dennis Erb Racing team had a terrific week on the UMP Summernationals trail from June 24-29, as they amassed one victory and four additional Top Five finishes in the five series races held last week. Dennis Erb reached victory lane last Friday night, June 27 at the newly-reconfigured Lawrenceburg Speedway in Lawrenceburg, Indiana. After setting fast time in his group during qualifying at Lawrenceburg and winning his heat race, Dennis led all forty laps of the A-Main to record the $10,000 triumph over Randy Korte, Steve Sheppard, Jr., Wayne Chinn, and Steve Casebolt!

"I am very happy with how we are performing right now, but there is still a long way to go on this deal," quoted Erb recently. "We have to keep qualifying up front and running strong in the heat race like we did last week. It is a whole lot easier when you start up front in these features instead of coming from mid-pack. Hopefully, we can continue to stay out of trouble and keep finishing in the top five."
